Cough, Cough Topic

And I can tell you with first hand knowledge that the cops precipitated that whole situation by closing down the bars almost immediately after the Bulls won, effectively sending thousands of drunken idiots (me included) into the streets, what the **** you think was gonna happen? A bunch of high fives and now its time to go home? CPD bungled that to the max

Boston: World Series '07

Not only did the city's beloved Canucks lose in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final, it was shut out 4-0. Now a scene reminiscent of 1994 has emerged, when the city rioted under similar circumstances, with random fires, flipped cars, pole climbing, and riot police. (Scroll down for video.)

Beer bottles were tossed at giant TV screens in the game's dying moments, cars and garbage cans were set fire, and fistfights broke out, per the Canadian Press. Flash bombs were used to try to disperse the angry crowd, CBC reports.

Most reports and eyewitnesses, however, say the trouble has been caused by a small segment of fans. "I think it was a few people ... Everybody else is watching, some are cheering," said one eyewitness.
